BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Diabetes mellitus is a serious disease afflicting over 100 million people worldwide. In the United States, there are more than 12 million diabetics, with 600,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Diabetes mellitus is a diagnostic term for a group of disorders characterized by abnormal glucose homeostasis resulting in elevated blood sugar. There are many types of diabetes, but the two most common are Type 1 (also referred to as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or IDDM) and Type 2 (also referred to as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or NIDDM).

The etiology of the different types of diabetes is not the same; however, everyone with diabetes has two things in common: overproduction of glucose by the liver and little or no ability to move glucose out of the blood into the cells where it becomes the body's primary fuel.

People who do not have diabetes rely on insulin, a hormone made in the pancreas, to move glucose from the blood into the cells of the body. However, people who have diabetes either do not produce insulin or cannot efficiently use the insulin they produce; therefore, they cannot move glucose into their cells. Glucose accumulates in the blood creating a condition called hyperglycemia, and over time, can cause serious health problems.

Diabetes is a syndrome with interrelated metabolic, vascular, and neuropathic components. The metabolic syndrome, generally characterized by hyperglycemia, comprises alterations in carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism caused by absent or markedly reduced insulin secretion and/or ineffective insulin action. The vascular syndrome consists of abnormalities in the blood vessels leading to cardiovascular, retinal and renal complications. Abnormalities in the peripheral and autonomic nervous systems are also part of the diabetic syndrome.

Diabetes has also been implicated in the development of kidney disease, eye diseases and nervous-system problems. Kidney disease, also called nephropathy, occurs when the kidney's “filter mechanism” is damaged and protein leaks into urine in excessive amounts and eventually the kidney fails. Diabetes is also a leading cause of damage to the retina at the back of the eye and increases risk of cataracts and glaucoma. Finally, diabetes is associated with nerve damage, especially in the legs and feet, which interferes with the ability to sense pain and contributes to serious infections. Taken together, diabetes complications are one of the nation's leading causes of death.

Many people with NIDDM have sedentary lifestyles and are obese; they weigh approximately 20% more than the recommended weight for their height and build. Furthermore, obesity is characterized by hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance, a feature shared with NIDDM, hypertension and atherosclerosis.

Obesity, which is the result of an imbalance between caloric intake and energy expenditure, is highly correlated with insulin resistance and diabetes in experimental animals and human. However, the molecular mechanisms that are involved in obesity-diabetes syndromes are not clear. During early development of obesity, increased insulin secretion balances insulin resistance and protects patients from hyperglycemia (Le Stunff et al., Diabetes, 43:696-702 (1989)). However, over time, β-cell function deteriorates and non-insulin-dependent diabetes develops in about 20% of the obese population (Pederson, P., Diab. Metab. Rev., 5:505-509 (1989)) and (Brancati, F. L. et al., Arch. Intern. Med., 159:957-963 (1999)). Given its high prevalence in modern societies, obesity has thus become the leading risk factor for NIDDM (Hill, J. O. et al., Science, 280:1371-1374 (1998)). However, the factors which predispose a fraction of patients to alteration of insulin secretion in response to fat accumulation remain unknown. The most common diseases with obesity are cardiovascular disease (particularly hypertension), diabetes (obesity aggravates the development of diabetes), gall bladder disease (particularly cancer) and diseases of reproduction. Research has shown that even a modest reduction in body weight can correspond to a significant reduction in the risk of developing coronary heart disease.

Obesity considerably increases the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases as well. Coronary insufficiency, atheromatous disease, and cardiac insufficiency are at the forefront of the cardiovascular complication induced by obesity. It is estimated that if the entire population had an ideal weight, the risk of coronary insufficiency would decrease by 25% and the risk of cardiac insufficiency and of cerebral vascular accidents by 35%. The incidence of coronary diseases is doubled in subjects less than 50 years of age who are 30% overweight. The diabetes patient faces a 30% reduced lifespan. After age 45, people with diabetes are about three times more likely than people without diabetes to have significant heart disease and up to five times more likely to have a stroke. These findings emphasize the inter-relations between risks factors for NIDDM, obesity and coronary heart disease as well as the potential value of an integrated approach involving the treatment of both obesity and diabetes (Perry, I. J. et al., BMJ, 310:560-564 (1995)).

Type 2 diabetes results from the progressive loss of pancreatic β-cell function in the presence of insulin resistance, leading to an overall reduction in insulin output (Prentki, M. et al., “Islet failure in type 2 diabetes”, J. Clin. Invest., 116:1802-1812 (2006)). β-cells are the cell type that store and release insulin in response to an elevation in plasma glucose or in response to hormonal signals from the gut following the ingestion of food. Evidence suggests that in type 2 diabetics the rate of β-cell cell death (apoptosis) exceeds that of new β-cell development, yielding an overall loss in β-cell number (Butler, A. E. et al., “(3-cell deficit and increased β-cell apoptosis in humans with type 2 diabetes”, Diabetes, 52:102-110 (2003)). β-cell apoptosis may arise from persistent elevations in plasma glucose levels (glucotoxicity) and/or plasma lipid levels (lipotoxicity).

G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) expressed on β-cells are known to modulate the release of insulin in response to changes in plasma glucose levels (Ahren, B., “Autonomic regulation of islet hormone secretion—Implications for health and disease”, Diabetologia, 43:393-410 (2003)). Those GPCRs specifically coupled to the elevation of cAMP via the G_(s) alpha subunit of G-protein, have been shown to enhance glucose-stimulated insulin release from β-cells. Cyclic AMP-stimulating GPCRs on β-cells include the GLP-1, GIP, β2-adrenergic receptors and GPR119. Increasing cAMP concentration in β-cells is known to lead to the activation of PKA which is thought to prevent the opening of potassium channels on the surface of the β-cell. The reduction in K⁺ efflux depolarizes the β-cell leading to an influx of Ca⁺⁺ which promotes the release of insulin.

GPR119 (e.g., human GPR119, GenBank® Accession No. AAP72125 and alleles thereof; e.g., mouse GPR119, GenBank® Accession No. AY288423 and alleles thereof) is a GPCR located at chromosome position Xp26.1 (Fredricksson, R. et al., “Seven evolutionarily conserved human rhodopsin G protein-coupled receptors lacking close relatives”, FEBS Lett., 554:381-388 (2003)). The receptor is coupled to Gs, and when stimulated, produces an elevation in cAMP in a variety of cell types including β-cell-derived insulinomas (Soga, T. et al., “Lysophosphatidylcholine enhances glucose-dependent insulin secretion via an orphan G-protein-coupled receptor”, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm., 326:744-751 (2005), International Patent Applications WO 04/065380, WO 04/076413, WO 05/007647, WO 05/007658, WO 05/121121, WO 06/083491, and EP 1338651). The receptor has been shown to be localized to the β-cells of the pancreas in a number of species as well as in specific cell types of the gastrointestinal tract. Activation of GPR119, with agonist ligands such as lysophosphatidylcholine, produce a glucose dependent increase in insulin secretion from primary mouse islets and various insulinoma cell lines such as NIT-1 and HIT-T15 (Soga, T. et al., “Lysophosphatidylcholine enhances glucose-dependent insulin secretion via an orphan G-protein-coupled receptor”, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm., 326:744-751 (2005); Chu, Z. L. et al., “A role for β-cell-expressed GPR119 in glycemic control by enhancing glucose-dependent insulin release”, Endocrinology, doi:10.1210/en.2006-1608 (2007)).

When activators of GPR119 are administered to either normal mice or mice that are prone to diabetes due to genetic mutation, prior to an oral glucose tolerance test, improvements in glucose tolerance are observed. A short-lived increase in plasma glucagon-like peptide-1 and plasma insulin levels are also observed in these treated animals (Chu, Z. L. et al., “A role for (3-cell-expressed GPR119 in glycemic control by enhancing glucose-dependent insulin release”, Endocrinology, doi:10.1210/en.2006-1608 (2007)). In addition to effects on plasma glucose levels, GPR119 activators have also been demonstrated to produce reductions in acute food intake and to reduce body weight in rats following chronic administration (Overton, H. A. et al., “Deorphanization of a G protein-coupled receptor for oleoylethanolamide and its use in the discovery of small-molecule hypophagic agents”, Cell Metabolism, 3:167-175 (2006), WO 05/007647, WO 05/007658).

DEFINITIONS

The compounds herein described may have asymmetric centers. Compounds of the present invention containing an asymmetrically substituted atom may be isolated in optically active or racemic forms. It is well known in the art how to prepare optically active forms, such as by resolution of racemic forms or by synthesis from optically active starting materials. Many geometric isomers of olefins, C═N double bonds, and the like can also be present in the compounds described herein, and all such stable isomers are contemplated in the present invention. Cis and trans geometric isomers of the compounds of the present invention are described and may be isolated as a mixture of isomers or as separated isomeric forms. All chiral, diastereomeric, racemic forms and all geometric isomeric forms of a structure are intended, unless the specific stereochemistry or isomeric form is specifically indicated.

One enantiomer of a compound of Formula I or Formula IA may display superior activity compared with the other. Thus, all of the stereochemistries are considered to be a part of the present invention. When required, separation of the racemic material can be achieved by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a chiral column or by a resolution using a resolving agent such as camphonic chloride as in Young, S. D. et al., Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2602-2605 (1995).

To the extent that compounds of Formula I and IA, and salts thereof, may exist in their tautomeric form, all such tautomeric forms are contemplated herein as part of the present invention.

The term “substituted”, as used herein, means that any one or more hydrogens on the designated atom or ring is replaced with a selection from the indicated group, provided that the designated atom's or ring atom's normal valency is not exceeded, and that the substitution results in a stable compound. When a substituent is keto (i.e., ═O), then 2 hydrogens on the atom are replaced.

When any variable (e.g., R₄) occurs more than one time in any constituent or formula for a compound, its definition at each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Thus, for example, if a group is shown to be substituted with (R₄)_(m) and m is 0-3, then said group may optionally be substituted with up to three R₄ groups and R₄ at each occurrence is selected independently from the definition of R₄. Also, combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.

When a bond to a substituent is shown to cross a bond connecting two atoms in a ring, then such substituent may be bonded to any atom on the ring. When a substituent is listed without indicating the atom via which such substituent is bonded to the rest of the compound of a given formula, then such substituent may be bonded via any atom in such substituent. Combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.

The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable” is employed herein to refer to those compounds, materials, compositions and/or dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio.

As used herein, “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refer to derivatives of the disclosed compounds wherein the parent compound is modified by making acid or base salts thereof. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, mineral or organic acid salts of basic residues such as amines; alkali or organic salts of acidic residues such as carboxylic acids; and the like. The pharmaceutically acceptable salts include the conventional non-toxic salts or the quaternary ammonium salts of the parent compound formed, for example, from non-toxic inorganic or organic acids. For example, such conventional non-toxic salts include those derived from inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, sulfamic, phosphoric, nitric and the like; and the salts prepared from organic acids such as acetic, propionic, succinic, glycolic, stearic, lactic, malic, tartaric, citric, ascorbic, pamoic, maleic, hydroxymaleic, phenylacetic, glutamic, benzoic, salicylic, sulfanilic, 2-acetoxybenzoic, fumaric, toluenesulfonic, methanesulfonic, ethane disulfonic, oxalic, isethionic and the like.

Various forms of prodrugs are well known in the art and are described in:

a) The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry, Camille G. Wermuth et al., Ch. 31 (Academic Press, 1996);

b) Design of Prodrugs, edited by H. Bundgaard, (Elsevier, 1985);

c) A Textbook of Drug Design and Development, P. Krogsgaard-Larson and H. Bundgaard, eds. Ch. 5, pp. 113-191 (Harwood Academic Publishers, 1991); and

d) Hydrolysis in Drug and Prodrug Metabolism, Bernard Testa and Joachim M. Mayer, (Wiley-VCH, 2003).

Said references are incorporated herein by reference, particularly as to the description of prodrugs.

In addition, compounds of Formula I and IA are, subsequent to their preparation, preferably isolated and purified to obtain a composition containing an amount by weight equal to or greater than 99% of a compound of Formula I or IA (“substantially pure” compound), which is then used or formulated as described herein. Such “substantially pure” compounds of Formula I and IA are also contemplated herein as part of the present invention.

All stereoisomers of the compounds of the instant invention are contemplated, either in admixture or in pure or substantially pure form. The compounds of the present invention can have asymmetric centers at any of the carbon atoms including any one of the R substituents and/or exhibit polymorphism. Consequently, compounds of Formula I and IA can exist in enantiomeric, or diastereomeric forms, or in mixtures thereof. The processes for preparation can utilize racemates, enantiomers, or diastereomers as starting materials. When diastereomeric or enantiomeric products are prepared, they can be separated by conventional methods for example, chromatographic or fractional crystallization.

“Stable compound” and “stable structure” are meant to indicate a compound that is sufficiently robust to survive isolation to a useful degree of purity from a reaction mixture, and formulation into an efficacious therapeutic agent. The present invention is intended to embody stable compounds.

“Therapeutically effective amount” is intended to include an amount of a compound of the present invention alone or an amount of the combination of compounds claimed or an amount of a compound of the present invention in combination with other active ingredients effective to modulate GPR119 or effective to treat or prevent various disorders.

As used herein, “treating” or “treatment” covers the treatment of a disease-state in a mammal, particularly in a human, and include: (a) preventing the disease-state from occurring in a mammal, in particular, when such mammal is predisposed to the disease-state but has not yet been diagnosed as having it; (b) modulating the disease-state, i.e., arresting it development; and/or (c) relieving the disease-state, i.e., causing regression of the disease state.

Synthesis

The compounds of the present invention can be prepared in a number of ways well known to one skilled in the art of organic synthesis. The compounds of the present invention can be synthesized using the methods described below, together with synthetic methods known in the art of synthetic organic chemistry, or variations thereon as appreciated by those skilled in the art. Preferred methods include, but are not limited to, those described below. All references cited herein are hereby incorporated in their entirety by reference.

The novel compounds of Formula I and IA may be prepared using the reactions and techniques described in this section. The reactions are performed in solvents appropriate to the reagents and materials employed and are suitable for the transformations being effected. Also, in the description of the synthetic methods described below, it is to be understood that all proposed reaction conditions, including solvent, reaction atmosphere, reaction temperature, duration of the experiment and workup procedures, are chosen to be the conditions standard for that reaction, which should be readily recognized by one skilled in the art. One skilled in the art of organic synthesis understands that the functionality present on various portions of the edict molecule must be compatible with the reagents and reactions proposed. Not all compounds of Formula I and IA falling into a given class may be compatible with some of the reaction conditions required in some of the methods described. Such restrictions to the substituents, which are compatible with the reaction conditions, will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art and alternate methods must be used.

Compounds of Formula I and IA may be prepared by procedures depicted in Scheme 1. Intermediate 1, obtained from commercial sources, can be reacted with R₁X (where R₁ other than H is as defined with respect to Formula I and IA and X is a halide) in the presence of a ligand such as 8-hydroxyquinoline, CuI (I) and a base such as K₂CO₃ in a suitable solvent such as DMF, DMSO etc. at an elevated temperature to yield intermediate 2. Cleavage of the benzyl group of intermediate 2 can be performed using the methods known in the art such as hydrogenolysis catalyzed by palladium. Intermediate 3 can then be alkylated with intermediate 4, which can be prepared by reaction of the corresponding alcohols with methanesulfonyl chloride, in the presence of a base such as K₂CO₃ at an elevated temperature. The above alcohols are commercially available or can be prepared by many methods well known to one skilled in the art (typical examples may be found in Sandler, S. et al., Organic Functional Group Preparations, Vol. I (Academic Press, Inc., 1983)). Removal of the protecting group of intermediate 5 can be carried out with appropriate reagents well known to those skilled in the art (for specific details see Greene et al., Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis (John Wiley & Sons Inc., 1991)). The deprotected product can then be treated with R₂X (where R₂ is defined as in Formula I and IA and X is a leaving group such as halide, mesylate, triflate, etc.), which are commercially available or can be prepared by many methods known in the art, at a number of conditions that are routine for those skilled in the art of organic synthesis to afford compounds of Formula I and IA. Alternatively the intermediate 6 can also be reacted with isocyates or isothiocyanates in the presence of a base such as Et₃N to provide the compounds of Formula I and IA.

No. 6,556,384 B1 (Owen, D. et al.) incorporated by reference herein as to these preparations, in the presence of a base such as NaH to yield intermediate 9. Oxidation of intermediate 9 with an oxidant such as mCPBA in a suitable solvent such as CH₂Cl₂ affords intermediate 10 and intermediate 11. Intermediate 9, intermediate 10 or intermediate 11 can be carried forward to compounds of Formula I and IA following the procedures described above in Scheme 1 substituting intermediate 9, 10 or 11 for intermediate 5.

Compounds of Formula I and IA, wherein Y is defined as NR₃, may be prepared by procedures illustrated in Scheme 3.

The products can then be further elaborated to compounds of Formula I and IA using the procedures described above in Scheme 1 substituting intermediate 13 for intermediate 5.

Alternatively, compounds of Formula I and IA, wherein Y is defined as N R₃, may also be prepared by the procedures similar to those provided in Scheme 3. Those invention compounds can be alternatively obtained by treatment of the compounds of Formula I and IA, wherein R₃═H, with a suitable electrophile R₃X (where X is a halide, mesylate, triflate, etc.) in the presence of a base such as K₂CO₃, CsCO₃, NaOtBu, etc.

Alternatively, compounds of Formula I and IA can be synthesized by procedures outlined in Scheme 4. Intermediate 14, obtained from commercial sources, can be reacted with intermediate 15, which are commercially available or can be generated by many methods readily recognized by one skilled in the art (typical examples may be found in Sandler, S. et al., Organic Functional Group Preparations, Vol. I (Academic Press, Inc., 1983)), in the presence of a base such as NaH to yield intermediate 16. Hydrolysis of intermediate 16 can be achieved by treatment with DABCO in the presence of a base such as K₂CO₃ in dioxane/water at an elevated temperature. Intermediate 17 can then be reacted with R₁X (where R₁ is defined with respect to Formula I or IA and X is a halide) in the presence of a ligand such as 8-hydroxyquinoline, CuI (I) and a base such as K₂CO₃ in a suitable solvent such as DMF, DMSO etc. at an elevated temperature to yield intermediate 18. The intermediate 18 can be carried forward to compounds of Formula I and IA following the procedures described above in Scheme 1 substituting intermediate 18 for intermediate 5.

Compounds of Formula I and IA may be prepared by procedures illustrated in Scheme 5. Intermediate 3 generated as described in Scheme I can be reacted with intermediate 19, which are commercially available or can be made by many methods readily recognized by one skilled in the art (typical examples may be found in Sandler, S. et al., Organic Functional Group Preparations, Vol. I (Academic Press, Inc., 1983)), via Mitsunobo reaction to yield intermediate 20 which can be converted to Formula I or IA using the procedures described above in Scheme 1 substituting intermediate 20 for intermediate 5.

Alternatively, compounds of Formula I and IA may be synthesized as provided in Scheme 6. Intermediate 21, obtained from commercial sources, can be reacted with intermediate 4 prepared as described in Scheme I to give intermediate 22. Hydrolysis of intermediate 22 can be achieved by treatment with DABCO in the presence of a base such as K₂CO₃ in dioxane/water at an elevated temperature. Intermediate 23 can be treated with R₁X (where R₁ is defined with respect to Formula I or IA and X is a halide) in the presence of a ligand such as 8-hydroxyquinoline, CuI (I) and a base such as K₂CO₃ in a suitable solvent such as DMF, DMSO etc at an elevated temperature to yield intermediate 24.

Luciferase Assay

HEK 293 cells may be plated on poly-D-lysine treated 96-well BD black side/clear bottom plates at a density of about 3×10⁴ cells/well in growth medium. The growth medium may comprise the following: D-MEM (Cat # 12430) with high glucose and 10% fetal bovine serum.

Cells may be transfected with vectors comprising native or non-native GPR119 sequences using commercially available vectors (e.g., Stratagene) and transfection reagents. The standard manufacturer's protocols may be followed to transfect the cells. Following transfection, the transfection medium may be removed and assay medium added to the wells of the assay plates.

Once the assay plates are prepared, compound dilution plates may be made. To do so, make a first compound dilution plate using 10 mM of the compound of interest diluted to about 1 mM in DMSO. Then make 12 point half-log dilutions of the compounds (in DMSO) using an automated liquid handler. Next, make a second dilution plate by diluting the wells in the first plate ten fold (10×) using assay medium. Once the plates are complete, the highest dose is about 10 μM and the lowest dose is about 0.03 nM.

Once the dilution plates are complete, one can add about 10 μl of the 10×compound dilution to the assay plate containing the assay medium transiently transfected cells. Tap the plate to mix the reagents and incubate the plate overnight at 37° C., 95% O₂, and 5% CO₂ in an incubator.

Following incubation, a luciferase assay system may be used (e.g., Stead-Glo Luciferase Assay System from Promega) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Following completion of the reaction, immediately measure the readout of the assay using a top count luminometer.

Mouse Oral Glucose Tolerance Test

24 male C57BL/6J mice (8-10 weeks old, average weight 28 g) were randomized into 4 groups (1 mouse/cage) of 6 mice per group based on fed plasma glucose and body weight. Prior to initiating the study, mice were fasted overnight and the next morning they were weighed and placed in the experimental lab. After 30 min in the environment, the mice were bled via tail tip at −30 min and immediately given their first oral administration of vehicle (0.5% Methocel, 0.1% Tween 80 in water) or compound solutions (5 ml/kg). At time 0 the mice were bled and given 50% glucose (2 g/kg) to initiate the oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT). The mice were bled 30, 60 and 120 min after the glucose load. Blood samples were drawn into potassium EDTA, placed on ice during the study and subsequently centrifuged for 10 min at 3000 rpm at 4° C. Plasma samples were diluted 11-fold for glucose analysis in the Cobas Mira System (Roche Diagnostics). Area under the curve was calculated from the plasma glucose time course data using the trapezoid rule with fasting plasma glucose as the baseline (GraphPad Prism Software). The statistical significance of the changes in the glucose AUCs resulting from the different treatments was determined by one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett's test using the vehicle group as the control (JMP software, release 5.1.2).
